Its nearest communities and village are Vytineika (village) and Kyllini to the north, the Ionian Sea to the north, Myrsini to the east, Dimitra to the southeast, and Machos (village) to the southwest.

Historical population
The village has a train station which is no longer used, a school, a church in the centre, a square (plateia), and 3 gas stations in the east. After 2001 or 2002, traffic between Kyllini and Lechaina is no longer used. It is now bypassed about 1 km north of the centre and away from Neochóri. South of the village, forests cover the southern half along with olive groves, north of Neochori, and are sporadically founded in the plain and some hills northwest. It is bounded by a military camp northwest along with its closest beaches. Agriculture used to dominate the market of Neochori until the late-20th century. The beaches in the north aren't usable because the surface is rocky between Avocado and slightly west of Myrsini Beach. The view of the castle of Chlemoutsi can be seen at its closest, one of the closest. The village is 1 km east of the hills and sits in the westernmost part of the plain.
